Abstract

The 1987 excavations in the Shiqmim Chalcolithic settlement and cemetery marked the beginning of the Phase II investigations at that site. This project focuses on elucidating the evolution of early agricultural settlement in the Beersheva valley of Israel's Negev desert. The report presents the results of a deep trench excavation and illustrates the complex stratigraphic development of this single-period site. In addition, contextual data is discussed concerning the discovery of a copper foundation deposit consisting of a mace head and scepter. An interim quantitative study of flint tool and animal bone distributions is also discussed.
